CPP Access Specifiers

🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)

If a class member is declared with NO access specifier at all, it defaults to private — the exact behavior the earlier Classes chapter's public: requirement was silently protecting against — meaning every class example up to this point that used public: was actively OVERRIDING C++'s default visibility, not merely adding an optional label; omitting it entirely would have made those attributes inaccessible from outside. [S1]

🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)

• Three access specifiers — public (accessible from outside the class), private (NOT accessible from outside), protected (not accessible from outside, but accessible in INHERITED/child classes). [S1]
• Default access is private — a class with no explicit access specifier makes ALL its members private automatically. [S1]
• Private-by-default as good practice — declaring attributes private "as often as you can" reduces the chance of accidental misuse; this is the core ingredient of Encapsulation (next chapter). [S1]
• Real-life analogy — public = front door (anyone can enter); private = locked drawer (only the owner); protected = family-only room (children/subclasses can enter, others cannot). [S1]

📖 세부 내용 (Details)

• Mixed public/private members and the resulting access error: class MyClass { public: int x; private: int y; }; MyClass myObj; myObj.x = 25; // Allowed myObj.y = 50; // error: y is private. [S1]
• Default-private class with no explicit specifier: class MyClass { int x; int y; }; // both x and y are private by default. [S1]

⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)

• 접근 지정자 생략 시 기본값은 private: 이전 Classes 챕터에서 사용된 public:이 단순한 선택적 표시가 아니라, 생략 시 기본으로 적용되는 private를 의도적으로 override한 것이었음이 이 챕터에서 명확히 확인됨. [S1]

🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)

현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — 클래스 속성을 가능한 한 private으로 선언하는 것이 실전 코드에서 좋은 관행으로 권장되며, 이는 다음 챕터(Encapsulation)의 핵심 재료가 된다. [S1]

💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)

Mixed public and private members, with the resulting compile error on private access (C++):

class MyClass {
public:    // Public access specifier
  int x;   // Public attribute
private:   // Private access specifier
  int y;   // Private attribute
};
int main() {
  MyClass myObj;
  myObj.x = 25;  // Allowed (public)
  myObj.y = 50;  // error: y is private
  return 0;
}
